20 (USD) = 121.68(NOK)
20 (USD) = 15.27(EUR)
20 (USD) = 23143.51(KRW)
Now the thing is that im seeing, is that how much 20 dollars is, seems to vary by ALOT. I am currently studying, have a parttime job that pays me 23,83 US dollars an hour, so for me, basically I go to work for one hour, and get countless hours of GSL content for my 1 hour of work. For atleast most norwegians and scandinavians, 1-2 hours of work should translate into 20 bucks and some popcorn to enjoy GSL.
Now as I have started to understand, things arent like that in the rest of the world. It sounds like if you pay 20 bucks, your gonna be starving the rest of the month.
When I was paying for the GSL, I thought a bit about comparative value for the hours of entertainment I got.
1 cinema ticket + 1 coke equals 20 bucks here in Norway.
1 Large takeout pizza equals 20 bucks (with sauce)
1 Night at the bowling alley (food not included), 30 bucks
3 magazines, 20 bucks
1 dinner out 30-40 bucks
1 liter (0,26 gallons) with liquour (vodka) 67 !! dollars
1 sixpack of bear, around 20 bucks
Basically this is just a general outline on how it is in Norway, but I also think Scandinavia can be include ( they have cheaper alchohol)
This wasnt entirely made to come off as a jackass, but more to see what the "comparative" value of 20 bucks are other places.

20 US bucks can get you a decent high-school date night out here
pair of movie tickets + dinner

Wow the tax on alcohol is so high in norway..
|
Why don't you compare 20 bucks to free stream lol
|
20$ is ~30 BGN
this is
18l of beer,
3-4 cinema tickets depending ot place (it is 5 in my town),
3 big pizzas + soda
my mounthly internet fee + an ice-cream
free stream + 20$ leftover
|
i live in germany and its about the same as in norway it seems. Maybe a bit cheaper 1-2 dollars each.
However in different countries there is different income for jobs and money doesnt have the same value in every country.
For example in east-european countries 20 dollars is ALOT because things in that countries are much cheaper, but they also earn less.
See it this way (numbers not reality):
In country A a person earns 100 dollars a month. its not much.
Food and other stuff are total 100 dollars a month so they have enough money.
In country B a person earns 800 dollars a month, however food and other things are more expensive so they spend almost all that 800 dollars in a month.
Now you can see for a person in country A its harder to spend 20 dollars on GSL, but for a person in country B it doesnt really change anything.
---
Another thing is that people here(esports forums) tend to cry alot when they have to pay for something so they exaggerate alot how its way too much. In reality everyone could just not to to cinema 1 or 2 times so they can easily afford GSL. Its just the nature of ppl and nobody will starve because of GSL -.-

20us$ = 80 pesos here.
Which is about 18 liters of beer in the supermarket here.
It's about 3 big Mc Donald's combos
Can get you dinner for 2 in a modest bar/restó or a pretty good dinner for 1 (steak/whatever).
It's 3-4 big pizzas.
|
It's about 900-1000 Philippine Pesos so
1) Dinner for two at a high-class expensive place
2) Movie tickets for 5 people
3) A book at an expensive bookstore (4 paperback ones at an inexpensive bookstore)
4) More than twice the minimum wage for a day
5) 25 or so bottles of beer (pegging it at a high price)
6) 15 or so 350mL bottles of cheap awful quality gin
7) 10 Stored-Value Light Rail Transit Cards
8) 9 Mc Donalds Combo Meals
5 of my friends and I were out eating korean barbecue last night, we had 2 servings of pork (each serving good for 2), one of beef, also had chapchae, kimchi chicken soup, one rice each, and a pitcher of Coke. One of my friends treated but I'd say we spent around that amount.

I must say, norwegians bears do sound quite cheap. Do you play TF2 by coincidence?

In all seriousness the prices in Denmark are almost identical to the ones you mentioned, exept for our alcohol being cheaper.
Edit: Damn, too slow with the bear.

my family members who work at a: factory job, and Family Video, make 9 dollars an hour, 20 is a good deal
|
20$ ~~ 30 TL (a little less), which is:
1- 12 cans (or bottles) beers or something like that.
2- %5 or something like that of minimum monthly salary.
3- 2 big pizzas
4- 2 steakhouse menus in burger king
5- half of the money i pay for public transportation in a month.
6- movie tickets for 3 people.
7- 2/3 of the money i spend on a date (i'm definitely not a cheapskate)
8- %60 of the money i spend on capoeira classes for each semester (capoeira classes are SO cheap in my university).
9- 1/13 of the money i spend in every month.
10- 1/2 of the 60cc bottle of a good tequila (srsly, taxes for alcohol is super fucking high in Turkey).
|
20.00 USD = 114.238 DKK
= 19 liters of normal (read: non organic) cow milk
I think cow milk is a currency that is very useful in a discussion like this because its avialable everywhere. Theres no additional tax on milk like there is on cars and beers. Milk is an everyday use product, and i dont remember how it is, but everyday use products have a special relation to inflation, that makes it good for comparebility issues.

Fuck studying bro with the money you earn an hour you would be making 3600 dollar a month :']
No wonder you earn so much you have to pay fucking 20 bucks for 6 beers lol.
20 Bucks in the Netherlands gives me 2gr of weed, a month worth of premium TV channels in HD ( Including Porn, Sport and Movie channels :'d ) or 3 six packs of Beer.

£12 over here. A cinema ticket is £7, so that and a coke and a tiny popcorn. Excludes petrol or bus fair!
Gets you one large pizza from a pizza chain. Two magazines. Three movie rentals. One quarter of a TV boxset.
A.K.A. very reasonable, but the VOD quality should be higher!
|
Buys me 4 or so good meals here if you know where to go 
food is fucken cheap in korea compared to US... only get 1 or 2 meals out of that in da USA
|
$20US = $21(AUD)
1 Movie Ticket + small popcorn and drink.
1 six pack of beer with some change
2 x medium meals at McDonalds
2 x Pints of beer at the pub
15-6 Litres of Petrol
4 x Cappuccinos
|
About 45minutes work.
Roughly equates to:
1 x 6pack of imported/premium beer
3 x Thai Lunches :D
2/3 of a CD (like, music album)
3x bread and milk
10x 1.25L of cola
|
About 140-150 SEK, so 1-2 hours of labour, depending on salary.

Damn I like that. Had I actually gone on more than 3 dates in high school I'd have been all over Singapore. Movie tickets are 15$ each here, and dinner is at least 10 a person at cheap ass places. 
Also, minimum wage is 9.50 here in Canada's Province of Quebec. 20 USD is approximately 20.60 CAD. So a month of gom is 2 hours of unskilled labor. Not bad.

20$ = 1000 denars. Thats something like 8% of the average paycheck here.
50 loafs of bread
15-20 L of beer from supermarket
5-6 big pizzas
12-15 hambugrers
2 months of internet bill

Jeez, $20 here is 1 1/2 movie tickets here, not including a drink or dinner or anything. Some of you all must go to nice theaters .

20 U.S. dollars = 62.0399351 Malaysian ringgit

31 Hours at a Lan cafe
62 Teh Tariks (a popular drink here)
3 boxes of soft drink cans
5 Cinema tickets + 1 large popcorn
2/3rds a Razer Krait/salmosa
Enough for 2/3 minor police bribes
Shitons of Pirated DVDs

1 liter (0,26 gallons) with liquour (vodka) 67 !! dollars

OMG that's robbery!
I can get a 20 pack of my favorite beer for like 10 bucks or so.
I woudl die out of thirst in Norway, thank god i live in Transilvania, at least the drinks are relatively cheap
|
$20 US seems to go quite a bit further here in the US than it does in Europe
A part time job for a college student that pays $23 here is also quite rare/hard to get. Average is probably $10-12 an hour for undergrad part timers. I guess higher wages make up for higher cost of living.

$20 USD are 20 McDouble cheeseburgers at McDonald's. That's a lot of food

1 USD = 3.0079 PLN

around 15-20 beers depending on your tastes.

It's interesting to me how prices themselves seem to vary from place to place. I can only get 1.5 movie tickets with $20, but I can buy a CD with it as well. You'd think that I'd only be able to get half a CD or something, comparing my prices to yours.
EDIT: Out of curiousity, what is minimum wage (converted to USD) for some of you guys out there? For the USA, the federal minimum wage is 7.25 right now (which is followed in about half the states.)

I hate everyone that's only paying 20 dollars for their internet
|
20 USD is around 800Php at the very least.
my mom can use that to feed a family of 7 for a 2~3 weeks if I'm not mistaken.
two family size pizzas from pizza hut is also a good deal. or a good dinner for a family of our size in a good enough resto.

Not all countries have your system of paying. For example, salaries can be given every week or month (mostly) in Bulgaria.
So to answer your question, 240 BGN which is 160 USD per month. This is the minimum salary.

around 18 liters of beer or 10 liters of wine (the crappiest money can buy, my brand !)
3 cinema tickets
1 month of internet
16 loafs of bread, more or less (1kg)
3-4 big mac meals
5 packs of cigarettes
the average person needs to work around 3-4 hours for 20$, when I have no income of my own, i get around 20$ a month from my parents to spend, so yeah 20$ goes a long way here.

20 usd ~= 4300 huf (forints) here. That would buy you either one of the following:
4 cinema tickets
2 tickets + huge popcorn and coke to go with each
10 pints of a decent beer in a bar or 30 bottles of the same beer in a supermarket
2 copies of the SC+BW expansion pack bundle
25 liters of normal cow milk
6 Big Macs
and its around 7% percent of a monthly minimum wage and about 2% of the average. (so on average its about 3.5 hours' work's worth of money)

wow Norway is little bit expensive isnt it ?
Slovakia - euros
1 cinema ticket + 1 coke + 1 popcorn (ofc large) = 10 euros
1 Large pizza (really huge 2x Razer Goliathus mouse pad size) = 10euros (lol i know xD)
1 liter of vodka well you can get it for 10.
1 sixpack of bear, around 8 euros

Netherlands:
0,8 - 3 movie tickets, depending on cinema and student status :p
4 pints of guinness, 10 in supermarket
2L beer (33cc) or 10L in supermarket (cheap kind)
10 bottles of wine (supermarket, enamel-cleaning), 1 in a restaurant (survivable), 3 retail (which are drinkable)
1-3 pizzas, depending on place of purchase (local turk or restaurant)
the internet bill for a month
I think 30 breads of the cheapest kind, 8 regular
Edit: Some things make me wonder, 1 hour motel for 20, so a night would be 200?

I'm pretty sure we're overlooking the fact that a six pack of beer costs 20 dollars in Norway. That's just criminal.

My bad, $20 is actually 3 hours.
Its very popular in Vietnam that couples pay for 1 hour of motel do the bang then out.
3 stars hotel in Vietnam is about 75$ a day or so.
For $200, You can stay at Sofitel or Hilton

Would have to be a pretty shitty dinner if it was in my area. The cheapest theater around here that actually has new movies as soon as they come out is about $7 per ticket. $6 left for dinner might be able to score you some goodies from the dollar menu at mcdonalds though :D

I would just like to explain the typical cinema menu in the USA
Ticket - 10$ Per (At night)
Largest Popcorn - 7-8$
Large Coke - 7$
Nachos - 7$
Regular Hotdog - 5$
Candy - 4$ a pack.
God damn highway robbery.

US$20 is 6.1 hours of work for me. T_T

Exactly 2 medium pizzas plus 2L of coca-cola
About 3 and a half movie tickets
A month's worth of gas for my bike

Well, to clearify, I clearly owned myself with bear.. Anyways, thats 6 0,5 liters, not sure whats the universal "sixpack" if thats 6 0,33 or not.

USD > CAD almost the same.
-won't even buy me one sushi supper at kanda on weekends.
would have around $2 left if it was lunch instead of supper.
-exactly one buffet meal on weekend nights.
again, if it was lunch, would be cheaper.
(how do you get a decent date night out with $20?)
-half a month's internet bill (Bell Canada)
-two and 1/2 mcdonald/burgerking trios
-1.3% of one semester's tuition fees.
-0.003% of my parent's annual income
-0.6% of my part time job's annual income

$24/hour for a random part time job would be very good money here in the US. Sounds like stuff is generally quite a bit more expensive up in Scandinavia though so it balances out.
You're right though, I think for a majority of people not wanting to spend the $20 is more out of being cheap and having the mindset that watching sc/sc2 is something that should be free.
I worked as a waiter over the summer and on average I made about $12/hour counting hourly wage+tips.
At the restaurant where I worked $20 would cover 2 of the cheaper entrees + 2 margaritas (only $1.99 each!!)
But that would run up to about exactly $20 so you'd need more to tip me or I'd find you....

for 20$ youd get

3 packs of cigs (fuck you taxes)
a decent dinner for one at a decent restaurant
1-2 bottles of booze
a pack of 10-15 (quality) condoms

20 USD = 10.000 Pesos aka 10 lucas.
You can get like 7~8 good strong joints. Buy between 10 and 12 liters of national beer. Or Buy a quality pizza.

24 USD for part time job? that's pretty good I have to say.
$20 USD in Australia will get you 1 pack of 20s smoke and a coke or 1 25s smoke :/
Or it could feed a person for two days depending on where you shop.
Minimal wage don't make sense here. You get fucking secretaries and administration staff that takes home 50K a year while skilled professionals sometimes barely making minimal wage -_-

it's a lot when you consider that all other SC content in the WORLD is free (or at least any respectable content is).
not to mention that for koreans/chinese IT IS FREE. this isn't just about 20$, it's about telling gretorp that we arent a bunch of fucking suckers and that we wont pay for shit that should always be free.

20 dollars is food money for a week for me provided I have rice already. If I lack rice, it's 40 lbs of rice, enough for me for several months :3
Oh and 48 cans of Milkis. Screw beer yo

$20 is a gram of weed, a decent dinner with my girlfriend, or a movie with my girlfriend.
$12 an hour is Baller status until you have a college degree.

uk
standard salary = £5.80/hour ($9/hour)
$20 = £12.80
2x movie ticket
coke & popcorn at cinema = £6.50
2.3 mcdonalds
8 cans of beer = £7.50
2 really shit british pizzas
a bus to work/school and back (depending where you live, without bus pass) = £7
150g of sliced ham = £2 iirc
2 litres of milk = £1.10 or £1.80 depending where you live
i wished people posted their standard/minimum wages too, it makes it more relevent to show their actual standard of living rather than a hypothetical one
|
for reference, here in montgomery county, maryland $20 is ~5 gallons of milk.
2 movie tickets
3.5 mcdonalds combo meals
|
i think that a lot of people just believe that the vods should be free and that's why they won't pay it, not because $20 is a boatload of money
anyway... you can find the vods fairly easily for free >.>
|
$20 is a lot to unemployed people tho
|
This is a good read just to see the differences. I'm going to assume $20 is what GOM stream costs for the current GSL? Just a guess.
Northern VA:
2 Movie Tickets
Almost 4 Big Mac Meals
750 mL mid quality liquor
10 hours at pc bang
1/3 cable fee (tv & internet)
2 large pizzas (usually with a coupon, but very easily found coupon)

$20 in Peru = 56 N. Soles
At the time I lived in Peru... that was:
14 Taxi fares that would last about 10 min. each
56 Bus Fares that would take you just about anywhere. 112 if you're a college student.
Food for a week (at the cheapest places of course).
5 or 6 movie tickets
1 Night at a cheap motel
200kpbs monthly fee for internet
2 large pizzas +1 free 2 litter soda + delivery
112 cheap newspapers
Half an hour with a hooker (they advertise on cheap newspapers LOL)
You get the point, although I don't really care either way cuz I don't like sc2, much less watching it and I would NEVER pay to watch it streamed.

That stuff is awesome. Do you buy it in Korea? .-. I think a six pack of milkis was around $5 when I got it, so... about twice as much?

5$ = big mac meal (fairly universal id say) here in the USA. so 20$ = 4 big mac meals.
How much is a big mac meal where your from?
|
20 bucks in the Philippines is enough to have a four person dinner at a mid-scale restaurant.
It's twice the minimum daily wage.
Buy SIX Big Mac meals.
